Framed Antique Godey's Ladies Fashion Plate Print June 1881

“Godey’s Lady’s Book was first published by Louis Godey in Philadelphia in 1830. Sarah Josepha Hale edited the magazine from 1837 until her retirement in 1877. Prior to his death in 1878, Godey sold the magazine to John Hill Seyes Haulenbeek; it ceased publication following Haulenbeek’s death in 1898”. Picture: Original Hand-tinted Fashion print. Yellowing, Foxing (Spotting), small 3/8- inch side tear, Center fold, Creasing Frame: External Dimensions: 13 x 10 x .5 inches, Display Area: 11.5 x 8.625 inches Wood construction, dulled gold paint, glass, cardboard backing with some tearing. We believe the frame is not as old as the picture, but still quite old, perhaps early 20th century. The hanger was obviously added much later and not installed with care. The nails can be seen slightly penetrating into the front of the frame. See magnified photo and other photos showing additional item flaws. Condition: Good for the 140+ years age.
